Benefits of technology

[0004]An object of the invention is to provide a foldable tool cabinet with a simple structure. The tool cabinet can be disconnected and assembled simply and carried conveniently and also can spare much room free of use.
[0009]Slot-type hems are set on both sides of the back board and the left board, while single hems are set on one side of the front board and the left board. It is convenient for hinges to be installed on one hand. In addition, it also provides more reasonable space for each face board to be folded. The states of being folded may provide space for the upright column and its accessories to place.
[0011]As an improvement of the invention, slot-type interior hems are set on the upper cover and the bottom board, corresponding to the door boards, so as to make the tool cabinet more closed and aesthetic when the door boards are closed.
[0014]As an improvement of the invention, the upper cover loosely and rotatably connects with corresponding side of the right board by the hinges. The improvement can make the upper cover fold up and more convenient for use.
[0019]The above-mentioned technical solution according to the invention, can realize that the upper cover is turned over and folded to the back or the right board, in the condition that the front, the back, the left, the right board, the upper cover and the door board are not detached. In addition, the front and the door board connected with it are flat folded to the right board, while the left and its other door board are flat folded to the back board, together with the back board horizontally folded to the right board. The process before the fold is to pull the pin of upper cover out, turn the upper cover over, then to take the shelf and the upright column out, after that, to release rabbeting of the bottom board, then to fold the case boards. During disconnecting, it is done that the shelf and the upright column are placed into a predetermined space of the right and the back board. During disconnecting, it is done that the shelf and the upright column are placed into a predetermined space of the right and the back board. It is very simple and convenient for carrying after folded and much space is spared at the same time. The assembly is the inverse process of the folding steps and it is also simple and convenient.

Problems solved by technology

The main structure of the conventional tool cabinet is typically one whole body, which is heavy and not easy to carry.
There are complicated structures, such as mosaic assembly type, screw lock type etc, but it is disadvantageous in using tool to disconnect and assemble them.
It is fussy and time-consuming.
On the other hand, when the tool cabinet is free of use, it will still take much space.
